Fun with FWF

I have a couple of cards to share, which I'll be entering at Unity's Friends With Flair. It's been a while since I played along there. It was way overdue. Here's what I made:

Card #1:

The inside says Happy Belated Birthday.

(Images from the December 2012 KOM)

Card #2

Inside says Missing You

Back story: someone near and dear to me had a bacterial infection that caused them to have the, ahem, 'Hershey squirts'. (If you know what I mean) Because I'm a sick human being, I made a card, in the 

toilet's point of view. Said person has a great sense of humor and

will totally find this funny!!

(Image and sentiment from the AH Crap set)

That's all I've got for now. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a fabulous Friday!

You old bag....

How about that for a blog title! LOL! This is a card I made for one of my sisters for her birthday. She just called to let me know she received it and loved it. We are all about snarky in my family, so this card was perfect:

Here's the inside:

Love this bag stamp and the old bag sentiment! I stamped the sentiments in Versa Mark and heat embossed in Jade Pearl EP. Then I stamped the bag on kraft with brown ink, fussy cut, and adhered with foam squares. Another stamp finishes the card on the inside.

It's been ages since I played along, so I'm entering this at Unity's Friend's With Flair. Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day!

.... have a beer! I'm linking this up to the current Unity Stamps FWF challenge:

I tried the chalkboard effect with this awesome stamp and I gotta tell ya, I LOVE how it turned out! I usually finish the inside of my cards, but I left this one blank. Not sure how I'm gonna use it. I haven't played along with the FWF challenge for a while, so I thought it was high time I did so! LOL! Hope you get a chance to play along too!

Thanks for stopping by and stay crafty my friends!

Good morning friends! TGIF!  I have a card to share that I made based off Wanna Sketch #8, and since I used Unity stamps, I'm going to enter this also in Unity's FWF:

Here's the inside:

and the sketch:

Isn't this a great sketch? Love Lisa's sketches! I was waiting for the right one to use these cute stamps with. My twin grandniece and grandnephew will be turning 1 yrs old in September. OMGee, they are the cutest little babies!



See? Absolutely adorable! I have another photo of them I was sent when they were 9 months. They were wearing turquoise outfits that had bright green accents. That's where I got my color choices from. I stamped, colored and fussy cut the images then popped them up on foam squares. I stamped the inside sentiments then (tried) to stamp just the shoes and bow tie between them. I'm not too happy with how that turned out - they are too far apart, oh well. I don't have a stampamajig and winged it. Hard to do with rubber stamps. Oh, it's kind of hard to see, but I added some diamond Stickles to the center of the flowers on her dress. You know, for a little sparkle! ☺

Well, that's it for now. Colby is telling me he'd like his walk now, so off we go! Have a great day!

Trick or Treat.../MojoMondays#306/Unity FWF

Hello and happy Friday! It's been so beautiful these last few days that I haven't really done much in the way of housework. (It's over rated anyway. Besides, it's not going anywhere!) But I have been enjoying sitting out on the deck and reading. When I'd take a break from that, I'd go to my craft cave and make awesome sh*t! For real. See?:

Anyone else get this sign from Unity? It spoke to me, so I had to get it! LOL! Some quick work with a picture frame hanger on the back and it's proudly hanging in my craft cave! Woo Hoo!

Anyhooo, my evil doublemint twin Jessi sent me some kick-ass goodies, one of them being these crocheted mats that she makes herself! Super cool, right?!! She is so talented! After a couple days of admiring them, I felt I needed to actually USE them! So here is what I came up with:

Here's the inside...

I based my card from the Mojo Mondays #306 sketch:

I'm also going to enter this for Unity Stamp's Friends With Flair. The jack-o-lantern was stamped, colored, fussy cut and adhered with foam squares. I die cut the banner then stamped trick or treat and that was adhered with foam squares as well. The spider sticker was clear, but I rubbed some powder on the back to get rid of the stickiness. It made it look like vellum, pretty cool! It's also adhered with a foam square.

Hey, if you like these crocheted mats, Jessi has them for sale on her blog: OneCraftyMama, in different sizes, shapes and colors! Go check it out! Thanks again Jessi! Love ya girl! MUAH!

Thanks for stopping by! Now go get your craft on! (or your drink on. It IS Friday, after all!) LOL!

Different Day.../CTS#39 and FWF

Hello and happy Friday to you all! Only one more sleep until the new challenges at Drunken Stampers start! I can tell you, the challenges this term are fresh and funky and fabulous! You're gonna wanna play along!!

In the mean time, I made a card using CTS#39 as well for Unity's FWF (well, I'll edit this post if/when the challenge is posted!)

The inside:

Here's the sketch:

Yep, it's been awhile since I made an off color card. Last night I succumbed to temptation! LOL! Who doesn't like bathroom humor?! Stamped the image directly onto the patterned paper panel and added a little shading. I inked and distressed the edges and adhered with foam squares. Did the same with the sentiment except for the distressing. The inside sentiment? Well, I did it again: used a stamp as a double entendre! The first time I did that was here. (Sorry Angela! But considering you make a plaque that says "Make Awesome Shit", a plaque that I proudly have hanging in my craft room, I didn't think you'd mind! LOL!) Aaaannndd with that we come full circle! Buahahahahaa!!!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope that you all have a great weekend!

You Graduated?/Unity's FWF

Hello and happy Friday! And for my fellow American peeps: Happy Memorial Day weekend! I'd like to share a card that I made for the Unity Stamps Friends with Flair. It's been forever since I played along so here it is:

Here is the inside:

I knew I wanted to use this itty bitty as a graduation card. (I know, very weird, but I think it worked!) I even used the school colors too! Keeping with my MO, the punch line is one the inside of the card. (Just love this stamp set! LOL!)

That's all for now. Time to relax and start the long weekend! I hope that you have a great evening!
